The ninjas stared at Jack and Annie with dark, piercing eyes. The rest of their faces were covered by their scarves.

The tall ninja took the note from her. He looked at it. Then he gave it to the short ninja.
查看中文翻译
"That's how they climbed the tree," Annie whispered to Jack.
查看中文翻译
"You can help us?" Annie asked.
查看中文翻译
"We're trying to help our friend, Morgan," said Annie.
查看中文翻译
The ninjas pulled iron bands off their hands. The bands had spikes like claws on them.
查看中文翻译
The ninjas didn't say "hi" back. They didn't move at all. They were as still as Jack.
查看中文翻译
"Hi," she said.
查看中文翻译
Annie wasn't frozen, though. She stepped right up to them.
查看中文翻译
She held up Morgan's note.
查看中文翻译
The two ninjas stared at each other. Then they looked back at Jack and Annie.
查看中文翻译
The short ninja tossed the rope ladder back out of the tree house. The tall one pointed down the ladder. Then he pointed at Jack and Annie.
查看中文翻译
Neither ninja spoke. Jack wished he could see their faces. He couldn't tell what they were thinking.
查看中文翻译
Jack felt frozen under their stares.
查看中文翻译
Finally the short ninja nodded once. He put the note into the pocket of his shirt.
查看中文翻译
The tall one did the same.
查看中文翻译
Jack gasped. The ninjas moved very fast. They were like spiders dropping from webs.
查看中文翻译
"Wow!" said Annie.
查看中文翻译
"No! This isn't a game!" Jack said.
查看中文翻译
"Come on, Jack!" came Annie's voice from below.
查看中文翻译
Jack put his notebook and the ninja book into his pack. He pushed his glasses into place. And he started down the ladder.
查看中文翻译
"Oh boy!" said Annie.
查看中文翻译
"Come back!" said Jack.
查看中文翻译
The short ninja darted down the ladder. He went hand over hand. His feet didn't touch the rungs of the ladder.
查看中文翻译
"Let's go with them, Jack," said Annie.
查看中文翻译
"Us? Go with you?" said Annie.
查看中文翻译
Uh-oh, thought Jack. Were they being captured?
查看中文翻译
Jack sighed. "Why does this always happen?" he asked himself.
查看中文翻译
"But I think they know something about Morgan!" said Annie.
查看中文翻译
She started down the ladder.
查看中文翻译
"Now's our chance to leave," said Jack. "Quick!" He looked around the tree house again. Where was that Pennsylvania book?
查看中文翻译
Oh boy? Is she nuts? wondered Jack.
查看中文翻译
The ninja nodded.
查看中文翻译
But it was too late.
查看中文翻译
Jack joined Annie and the ninjas on the ground.
查看中文翻译
Annie grabbed Jack's hand. Together they stepped into the water.
查看中文翻译
"YIKES!" They both screamed and jumped out.
查看中文翻译
Jack took a deep breath. She was right.
查看中文翻译
The ninja nodded. Then he and the short ninja stepped into the wild stream. They started wading across.
查看中文翻译
"Let's run back to the tree house!" said Jack.
查看中文翻译
"You want us to cross it?" shouted Annie.
查看中文翻译
The sun had fallen behind the hills. The sky was streaked with red and gold.
查看中文翻译
The mouse peeked out from Annie's sweatshirt pouch.
查看中文翻译
The ninjas stopped near the rushing water of the wide stream. The water roared as it raced downhill.
查看中文翻译
"Where are we going?" Jack asked.
查看中文翻译
The short ninja held Jack's arm in one hand and Annie's arm in the other. He led them through the twilight. The tall ninja walked behind them.
查看中文翻译
"No, we have to follow them!" said Annie. "For Morgan's sake!"
查看中文翻译
Great, thought Jack. But who is going to take care of us?
查看中文翻译
The short ninja looked at Jack and Annie. He let go of their arms. Then he pushed them toward the stream.
查看中文翻译
"Don't be scared, Peanut," Annie whispered. "We'll take care of you."
查看中文翻译
But the ninja lifted Jack high into the air. And put him on his shoulder.
查看中文翻译
But the ninjas moved through the stream as calmly as two sailing ships.
查看中文翻译
The tall ninja grabbed Jack.
查看中文翻译
The ninjas looked at Jack and Annie. Then they turned around and came back.
查看中文翻译
"Help!" Jack cried.
查看中文翻译
"I can't go back in," said Annie, shivering.
查看中文翻译
Then the two ninjas stepped into the stream again. The icy wild waters swirled around them. It went up to the short ninja's waist.
查看中文翻译
It was the coldest water Jack had ever felt! It was colder than ice. It was so cold it felt like fire.
查看中文翻译
The short ninja put Annie on his shoulder.
查看中文翻译
"Me neither," said Jack. "I'll have a heart attack."
